"Valhalla" at work: FBI undercover asset

"far right," speaks at a rally sponsored by the

September 2008 arrest.

It's difficult not to experience a
faint pang of sympathy for Hal Turner, albeit an ephemeral
one deeply buried beneath multiple layers of well-earned
disgust.

For at least five years, and probably more, Turner was a
paid informant and provocateur in the employ of the world's
largest sponsor of terrorism, the Federal Government. His
assignment was to bait easily influenced people with
incendiary rhetoric about race and other resentments, and
reel in anyone who bit a little too lustily on the bait. The
Bureau credits Turner with personally bringing more than 100
"extremists" to their attention, many of whom (the Bureau
won't specify how many) were arrested.

There's every likelihood that at least some of Turner's
victims were offered the same deal offered to Randy Weaver
after he was set up on trivial and spurious firearms charges
by an undercover snitch for the ATF: Become an
informant/provocateur, and you'll stay out of jail.

Weaver rejected the deal, and the FBI eventually retaliated
by attacking his home and murdering his wife and son. Jose
Padilla, a rougher customer than Weaver, rejected the same
deal; he was declared an "enemy combatant," subjected to
prolonged torture intended to destroy his mental equilibrium
and break his will, and eventually convicted on
exceptionally dubious terrorism-related charges.

Before he was outed as a stukach in early 2007, Turner was
the host of a web-based talk radio program and a freelance
speaker who specialized in "incitement-and-indictment"
entrapment of "right-wing extremists." Hackers discovered a
cache of e-mail correspondence between Turner and William
Haug, an agent working for a Joint Terrorism Task Force who
acted as the informant's handler. Turner closed down his
radio program while emitting great gusts of affected outrage
over what he insisted were spurious accusations that he had
collaborated with the Feds.

In a message posted to Pro Libertate after he was identified
as an agent provocateur  along with federal assets tasked
to carry out similar missions within Muslim sub-populations
in the U.S.  Turner insisted that only "PARANOID FREAKS
(like this blog)" would suspect him of collaboration.

By way of establishing his neo-Nazi bona fides, Turner
boasted that "my [white supremacist] rallies in Kingston NY
and Kalamazoo, MI cost those cities $60,000 and $120,000
respectively in police overtime and that there's no way the
FBI would have approved anything like that by an informant
because the cities would have demanded the money back!"

Actually, as we'll see anon, the FBI has no problem staging
white supremacist rallies and protest marches that help
"local" police departments rack up overtime.

Certainly, the police don't mind making a little extra money
by swanning about in riot gear. Events of the sort Turner
organized are an intelligence bonanza for the Regime: They
give the FBI (and, most likely, other Homeland Security
assets) an opportunity to harvest detailed information for
federal databases about both "right-wing extremists" and
their opposition.

We know this is the case through first-person testimony from
an FBI undercover asset who spent nearly a decade worming
his way through the "radical right"  including the National
Socialist Movement (NSM).

The NSM's adherents doubtless see themselves as the finely
honed blade of a resurgent "white power" movement, a
description promoted with similar zeal by professional
hate-hucksters like Morris Dees' artfully misnamed Southern
Poverty Law Center and the so-called Anti-Defamation League.

Playing their role: NSM poseurs take refuge behind riot
police during a recent anti-Mexican demonstration in
Riverside, California.

Actually, the NSM is "all show, no go"  it's more of a
federally controlled traveling roadshow, sort of a Third
Reich tribute band. Its cadres exude all of the raw menace
of the hapless Illinois Nazis from The Blues Brothers, and
possess all of the street-fighting chops of the bumbling
Black Widow biker gang from Clinton Eastwood's Philo Beddoe
films.

But I digress.

We were discussing Hal Turner's career as an FBI
informant/provocateur code-named "Valhalla," details about
which have been pried from the Bureau by reporters for the
Bergen (New Jersey) Record.

Beginning in 2003 (or, as Turner claims, 2002), Turner was a
paid informant "who spied on his own controversial
followers," reports the Record, citing "government
documents, e-mails, court records, and almost 20 hours of
jailhouse interviews" with the snitch. Turner "received
thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups
as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National
Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead
punk band."

"I was not some street snitch," insists Turner. "I was a
deep undercover intelligence operative." He demands
recognition of that distinction with the same desperate
desire for dignity displayed by any other whore who seeks to
upgrade his or her job description with a more refined
title.

The FBI budgeted at least $100,000 to pay for Turner's
performances, both on his radio program and in public
speeches. He now insists that he was merely role-playing on
behalf of his pimps  both the FBI's Special Agent Haug and
New Jersey State Police Detective Leonard Nerbetski, who
also served on the Newark Joint Terrorism Task Force.

As he tells the story, Turner was required to feign passion
for various unsavory causes: In interviews with the Record,
Turner maintained that "the FBI coached him to make racist,
anti-Semitic and other threatening statements and new now
feels double-crossed by the Bureau after his arrest."

"The audience loves the rip-roaring radio psycho," Turner
boasted in an e-mail to the FBI. "They literally throw money
at it. Just be confident that the personality you hear (or
hear about) on radio is not real life. I have zero intention
of doing anything stupid."

In the guise of the "radio psycho," Turner  with the FBI's
help  was pulling down about $15,000 a month to express
such edifying sentiments as the following: "A full day of
violence against blacks would be a really nice thing.... [L]ynchings,
church burnings, drive-by shootings and bombings [would] put
these subhuman animals back in their place."

Turner materialized at various white power gatherings in
several states. He also traveled to Brazil on the FBI's dime
to spy on suspected white supremacists in that country, as
well as to investigate an alleged plot by white supremacists
and Brazilian Arabs to send "consumer goods" to resistance
fighters in Iraq. It's difficult to believe that the CIA
remained entirely aloof from that aspect of Turner's career.

While the FBI was willing to abet Turner's efforts to incite
violence against innocent people, the Feds moved against him
shortly after he published comments on his blog interpreted
as death threats against three judges in Chicago. He was
arrested shortly before the 2008 election and is scheduled
to stand trial this week.

A sitcom-worthy simulacrum of
street-fighting: NSM members square off against the equally
ludicrous "Brown Berets de Aztlan" in Riverside, California.

As the song says, "some men like the fishin', some men like
the fowlin', and some men like to hear the cannonball a-roarin."
Turner likes nothing more than hearing the sound of his own
voice. Yet "here I am in prison, betrayed," he laments,
arrested by the same FBI Special Agent who recruited him and
 he plaintively maintains  fed him his lines.

"I was given specific instructions," Turner declares, and he
played the role of racist agitator out of his duty as "a
loyal, patriotic decent American citizen."

Turner may be telling the truth. His experiences are eerily
similar to those recounted by former FBI "deep cover"
operative (and one-time Roller Derby star  no, I'm not
kidding) David Gletty in his ineptly written but highly
useful memoir Undercover Nazi: The FBI Infiltration of
Extremist Groups in America.

In what strikes me as a transparent effort to cultivate a
marketable mystique, Gletty says that many details of his
work as a paid FBI snitch remain "classified." He claims to
have been recruited in 2000 when, as the leader of a
constitutional militia, he came across a plot by an
Appalachian white supremacist to set off a string of
radiological bombs in collaboration with al-Qaeda.

Recruited as a "deep cover" operative, Gletty spent several
years cultivating ties with "extremist" groups, including
elements of the KKK, the Hammerskins, and eventually the
National Socialist Movement. He was careful to get his
"ticket punched" by working with legitimate dissident groups
such as the League of the South, and various immigration
reform groups, such as at least one element of the Minuteman
volunteer border watch movement.

Gletty's most notable achievement was to infiltrate and
become leader of a National Socialist Movement chapter in
Florida and organize a 2006 NSM march in Orlando that was
intended to sow fear and anger in a predominantly black
neighborhood.

To prepare for that role, Gletty behaved much as Hal Turner
had, fulminating in public about the supposed inferiority of
non-white people and befouling the air with exhortations to
collectivist violence. This not only legitimized Gletty in
the eyes of his comrades in the NSM, it also helped to rile
up the group's enemies, thereby ensuring a large turnout of
counter-protesters for the February 2006 march in Orlando 
which was exactly what the Bureau desired.

During his years as an informant/provocateur, Gletty was
usually accompanied by a fellow asset he identifies only as
"Joe." During the Orlando protest, Gletty recalls, Joe
carried a concealed digital camera "for taking all the
photos he could of protesters and counter-protesters. Then
the images would be fed into the FBI face recognition
computer. At least 1000 faces for the computer to digest."

In addition to producing a bounty of biometric intelligence
for the FBI, the Orlando rally offered a good dry run for a
future Homeland Security crack-down. Gletty points out that
his FBI handler was "actually pumped up" about the Orlando
march, "because the protest would be a great training
exercise for the Orlando Police Department, Orange County
Sheriff's Department, the FBI, and MBI [the Central Florida
Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation] as they would all be
in attendance."

As a leader in the white supremacist underground, Gletty
held many "surveillance parties"  not only public events,
but private functions used to gather intelligence and, where
possible, set up various low-level thugs to become
informant/provocateurs themselves.

For three years, "Joe and I ... traveled from state to
state, rally to rally, and party to party, infiltrating the
White Power Movement in America," Gletty recalls. "Thousands
of miles, hundreds of photographed faces, and a myriad of
tape recordings were contributing to the eradication of
racial and religious prejudice in America."

He's like that "John 3:16 Guy," except,
you know, a Nazi: Neo-Nazi agitator J.T. Ready, an uninvited
guest during a recent immigration control event in Arizona,
holds up a portrait of his Fuhrer.

Really? To judge from recent attention earned by the NSM,
Gletty's mission was not to help "eradicate" prejudice (as
if this could be accomplished through government
intervention), but rather to bring the group more completely
under the FBI's control.

The NSM is a remnant of George Lincoln Rockwell's American
Nazi Party (ANP). According to Hate: George Lincoln Rockwell
and the American Nazi Party, the ANP was thoroughly
compromised through the FBI's notorious COINTELPRO
operation; by the time of his murder in 1967, Rockwell was
widely believed to be a "patsy" for the FBI or some other
intelligence agency.

One objective of the anti-ANP COINTELPRO operation was to
create a rift between Rockwell's Nazi outfit and the United
Klans of America. By the late 1970s, the Klan was thoroughly
honeycombed with FBI assets. In fact the Bureau boasted that
it had enough Klansmen on its payroll in North Carolina to
elect that state's Grand Dragon: At one point, 7 of the 8
members of a Charlotte Klan chapter reportedly were FBI
assets informing on the klavern's sole non-federal employee.

Edward Dawson, an informant/provocateur on the payroll of
the Greensboro police department and under the supervision
of the FBI, helped orchestrate a November 3, 1979 street
clash between white supremacists and Communists that left
five people dead. The "White Power" contingent included
elements of both the Klan and the American Nazi Party, whose
FBI-engineered rift had apparently healed sufficiently to
permit joint action.

The National Socialist Movement's current strategy is to
provoke tumult and violence, rather than participating in it
directly. In recent weeks the group has achieved a
relatively high profile by staging anti-immigration rallies
in Riverside, California and Phoenix, Arizona.

In California, a small knot of NSM denizens faced off with
members of "Los Brown Berets de Aztlan," a foundation-funded
militant Chicano group, with riot police clad in body armor
on hand to maintain "order." A few weeks later the group
inflicted itself on an immigration- reform protest in
Arizona during which the group's most visible spokesperson,
J.T. Ready, unfurled a portrait of Adolf Hitler.

J.T Ready

Ready  a dishonorably discharged ex-Marine  is a pretty
good candidate to be the next NSM figure outed as an asset
of the Feds. An ambulatory wad of cholesterol and bile,
Ready looks like the unfortunate result of a genetic
experiment combining the most unpleasant traits of Ernst
Roehm and Chris Farley.

While certainly not telegenic, Ready has achieved a certain
media prominence as a result of his candor in reciting the
Nazi party line.

The sudden prominence of the NSM has been noted  with a
detectable hint of gratitude  by left-collectivists eager
to shoehorn resistance to the Obama Regime into a
pre-determined narrative: Critics of the Blessed One and his
administration are animated by concealed bigotry, according
to this reading, whether they know it or not, and their
rhetoric is creating an "atmosphere" of incipient violence
that will engender domestic terrorism.

It should be remembered that the same tropes were put into
play early in the last Democratic administration, just
before the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing  a terrorist act for
which disenchanted former federal employee Timothy McVeigh
was executed, but was actually carried out with the help of
"others unknown," including several federal assets connected
to a bizarre little white supremacist commune known as
Elohim City.

The Regime has gone to a great deal of trouble to keep the
otherwise moribund White Power movement on life support.
It's simply too useful as a political foil  and,
occasionally, as an instrument of politically useful
violence  for the Regime to let it die.
